Sylvan Infant School
We expect every child and adult who is part of our federation to follow these key basic principles. These will help to ensure a happy and safe environment in which everyone can flourish. Our code of conduct is:
‘Good to be Green’ Behaviour Scheme
For consistency and clarity the ‘Good to be Green’ Behaviour System is used throughout the school. The ‘Good to be Green’ scheme is an effective way of promoting positive behaviour, rewarding those children who consistently behave appropriately, and is a means of being able to track those children who find it harder to meet the school’s expected behaviour code. The scheme is very visual, which allows our children to easily see how they are doing in class. We believe that it is important to promote a positive message regarding behaviour management at all times- ‘Good to be Green’ is a means of promoting our high expectations of positive behaviour. If a child has had a bad day, they can start afresh the following day.
Daily Organisation of ‘Good to be Green’:
All the children begin each day with a Green Card. If a child ends the day with a Green Card, ‘Good to be Green’ success is celebrated at the end of each day in class and we will encourage the children to talk about this at home. Equally, children will often display behaviours where they go out of their way to be friendly, welcoming or helpful. Children therefore have the opportunity to be rewarded for very good behaviour by being awarded ‘Great to be Gold’ (which will equate to 2 house points).
